About Flight1
Skycatch Drone Mission Planner
Flight1 is a robust, multifunctional drone mission planning app from Skycatch. The autonomous flight app works with Skycatch Explore1, DJI P4, P4P, P4RTK and M210RTK drones. The app automates aerial mapping from takeoff to landing and allows you to customize your flight settings to ensure you capture the exact images you need.
Flight1 app functionality includes:
Select your area of interest on the satellite maps or import custom base maps
Automatically generate a flight plan with optimal waypoints, speed, and overlap for the altitude and resolution you choose.
Control the direction/heading of the flight path depending on wind, terrain and other obstacles.
If you need to stop your flight for whatever reason (including a drone battery swap), you can resume right where you left off.
Mission plans are saved automatically for recurring data capture on your sites.
When used as part of the High Precision Package (HPP) for Mining from Skycatch, your geotagged drone images are processed in the cloud (or on site with Skycatch Edge1) and turned into orthomaps, point clouds, 3D mesh and DTMs. Measure, overlay, markup, analyze and share your processed data using Skycatch Data Hub or any software that uses point clouds.

Thanks for using Skycatch Flight1 for planning your aerial missions for the Skycatch Explore1 and DJI Phantom 4 and Phantom 4 Pro drones! This update includes a new feature called Point-of-Interest (POI) Scan to improve your 3D viewing output for vertical structures.
When the POI feature is set to on, you can select a focal point on the mission map. At the end of the mission, the drone will automatically fly the perimeter with the gimbal camera focused on your point of interest to better capture the sides of your vertical structures.
